Introspection

I ended up doing 3 dungeons last night in Looking For Group. The first one was uninteresting except in that we lost the tank and had to call it.
The second was “Culling of Stratholme”.
The mage wanted to get the Zombie Killer achievement, he had a strategy, on the second boss kite him into the town [...]

Hole in the Road

Every day I ride my motorbike up a small road to see to my horses. This road has been getting progressively worse and worse over the past year or so. So when I found a site where I could report holes I started to use it.
So far I’ve reported two of the worst holes and [...]

trial and error

In a desperate last ditch attempt to do the weekly raid quest I once again joined a pickup group that was advertising on the trade channel.
The usual Brewfest Regalia puzzles ensued, easily sorted.  I was accused of being a Role Player, she’s a RPer i’m guessing , though why I’d be on Darkspear and not [...]

Stupidity incarnate – Mine and others.

So continuing with the Bad Apples……
On Friday I got asked if I’d like to go to a continuation raid of Icecrown Citadel 10 man. I turned it down because it meant that I wouldn’t get the weekly raid (Marrowgar must die) as they had already passed him. I’ll come back to that in a bit.
On [...]

Escrik Park – Ride

This weekend we took the pony out to Escrick park for his second pleasure ride of the season. There was a lot of doubt about whether we were going to attend; first of all we didn’t receive any maps or ride details leading us to suspect that it had been called off, and then the [...]

Looks

Although I wouldn’t say looks were particularly important to me I do find that in WoW I prefer the looks of Gnomes and Draenei. I take some care with my character creation and with Flowersz I found that despite trying different “hairstyles” on her I ended up going back to my very original choice, the [...]

Almost a week in..

So I’ve been a Bad Apple for not quite a week, most of which has been spent waiting for the armory to update my guild so I could gain access to the forums.
My very first impressions? Remember though this is from less than a week’s worth of impressions with not a lot of “down-time” when [...]

French

It’s taken as a given in the UK that the French are “touchy” about their language and don’t like it when it’s not used correctly. This is in any sort of “formal” activity, I suspect that they are generally quite pleased when an ignorant englishman makes the effort to actually speak it.
The question that came [...]

getting on my wick

How come the armory updates your gear within seconds of logging out, but takes days to spot that you have changed guild, huh?

Seedling

I got accepted into the Bad Apples this weekend despite a real stinker of a guild application. I’m quietly happy that I was accepted.  I’m moderately familiar with this guild from joint raids and I’m fairly sure that I’ll get along. The guild chat is at about the right level for an baldy “liberal” like me, [...]
